Stereotype!

This is a mixture of stamps and hopefully will be ok for at least two challenges I want to enter.

The typewriter doll is by Lost Coast, her sexy legs are by Unity Stamps, the circles and spirals are Rubber Dance stamps, and the type stamps are Craftwork Cards.

You might remember my altered French/English dictionary which I started as part of The Craft Barn challenge last year - well this is another page I have done in that dictionary.

The page is painted with white gesso, the typist is stamped on white card and coloured with Promarkers and a Distress marker, circles and spirals are stamped in Distress inks and the torn edges are inked with Distress ink.

The small Rubber Dance circles have words in them and say: "you are unique and so am I" and "this is different" - I think it is! She has typed - "I am not A Stereotype".

When I got careers advice a very long time ago the adviser thought all girls should become typists, he didn't like it if you wanted to become anything else!

I have a list of challenges I want to enter to try not to forget, and already one has passed by so I have to add a different one for that.

Love it!! This is such a cool combination of different stamps. You're the first to quote the tiny text in my circle stamps! I am sure other must have noticed what they say, but never heard a comment about it before. Cool that you've noticed and used the stamps for your entry to our August challenge. Thanks so much!♥

Wonderful pages and layout. I really love how you combined Typewriter Girl and gave her showgirl legs, so fun! Wonderful Summery colors :) Thanks so much for playing with us at Lost Coast Portal to Creativity!~kim

Thanks for using the typewriter doll stamp by Lost Coast Designs on your awesome journal page! She is one of my favs! Thanks for playing with us this month at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity! Nan, DT

I never thought I could do a journal page until I was captivated by the thought of an altered dictionary. It wasn't in alphabetical order so hard to see that I progressed, but I think I did.Thank you Kitty!

Summer all the time

About Me

I have been card making since 2004, after being inspired by a friend who made her wedding stationery I came across Blade Rubber Stamps while working in London and bought a few bits, then I was hooked! Now I have a craft room full of stuff. I have always crafted things for nearly as long as I can remember - card making filled a need to make and finish things in very little time, and be able to give a little happiness to friends and family. I became a Granny in 2012, it is great! I am a qualified Management Accountant and I took early retirement from the Civil Service, and haven't looked for work since. I am challenge coordinator, DT member and point of contact for the Quirky Crafts Challenge blog, which is an unpaid job but fun.
By the way I moderate all comments so they don't appear right away!
